John Keely wrote that the vibrations of "thirds, sixths, and ninths, were extraordinarily powerful." In fact, he proved the "vibratory antagonistic thirds was thousands of times more forceful in separating hydrogen from oxygen in water than heat." In his "Formula of Aqueous Disintegration" he wrote that, "molecular dissociation or disintegration of both simple and compound elements, whether gaseous or solid, a stream of vibratory antagonistic thirds, sixths, or ninths, on their chord mass will compel progressive subdivisions. In the disintegration of water the instrument is set on thirds, sixths, and ninths, to get the best effects."
Keely often used these terms in relation to the Sympathetic Streams which he viewed as having three currents: Harmonic, Enharmonic and Dominant. These three numbers relate to the relationship between these three currents as applied to dissociation processes.
According to what I think I know about Keely's work these three currents making up streams come from the vacuous tenuity of space or Celestial realm. Under syntropic influence they sympathetically associate, merge and seek condensation within Neutral Centers. There, according to his Law of Cycles, revert to radiating energy.
The term "Sympathetic Streams" means individual streams that are sympathetic (think entanglement here) to each other as in objects experiencing "sympathetic vibration" not unlike what occurs between finely tuned or sympathetic tuning forks. Because there is a high degree of sympathy between them they will mutually attract, merge and condense.
Three Modes of Vibration
Enharmonic = Radiant or Radiation, Dispersion, Dissociation, Disintegration, Entropic. It does this because it is discordant to the overall harmony / sympathy.
Harmonic = Attractive, condensing, concentrating, syntropic because it is harmonious.
Dominant = the that which controls the Harmonic and Enharmonic by accentuating one then the other periodically. A metaphor is two kids on a see-saw. Harmonic going down - attraction of gravity. Enharmonic going up away from gravity. The Dominant is the Fulcrum between them as also their desire and body motions to change one direction into the other.
Dominant = is of the Celestial, Vacuum, Spirit, Mind and Scalar domains.
In terms of dissociating an atom or molecule the two polar forces (Harmonic and Enharmonic) are held in a dynamic balance. The Harmonic (centripetal) force is counterbalanced by the Enharmonic (centrifugal) force. Keely used the Dominant to disturb this equilibrium one direction or the other. Add in an abundance of Enharmonic and the atom or molecule comes apart because the centrifugal force will at that point over ride the mutual attraction of the Harmonic current. The 3, 6 and 9 refer to these quantities of applied energies relative or proportionate to each other (IMHO).
Look to Nature. The sun evaporates (dissociates) water molecules in the ocean. What is it about sun rays that breaks the water molecule so effortlessly? UV rays perhaps. Keely says magnetism and Light are intimately connected on the same plane but at different angles. He says they are basically the same energy manifesting differently. So in a sense magnetism-like energy is involved.] Dale Pond, 03/10/13
Transmitting Concordant Impulses
"The Trexar is a wire made of sections of silver, gold and platinum, respectively, is peculiarly adapted to transmit concordant vibrations in the relations of thirds, their range of molecular oscillation being in the proportion of 3:6:9 respectively. The Trexar is this wire composed of: a first section of silver, a second section of gold and a third section of platinum, all uniform in size, which is used as a conductor in vibratory transmission and for the multiplication of vibrational frequencies." Keely
"Silver represents the third, gold the sixth, and platina the ninth, in their links of association, one to the other, in the molecular range of their motions, when submitted to vibratory impulses. [Keely, SYMPATHETIC OUTREACH - Snell]
Silver represents the third, gold the sixth and platinum the ninth, in ratio of molecular range of oscillation, when submitted to vibratory induction. [Keely, MOLECULAR VIBRATIONAL RANGE]
"Keynote of electromagnetic sympathy, transmissive combinations, thirds, on the subdivision of first octave B flat, diatonic. Sixths, on same subdivision of thirds, octave harmonic, and ninths, on the same subdivision on the sixths, octave enharmonic. [Keely, ANSWERS MADE IN LETTERS FROM MR. KEELY - TO QUESTIONS ASKED OF HIM]
"When using the Trexar or Trexnonar, a "slight tap on the Chladni wave plate" accelerates the normal molecular frequency from 20,000 to 180,000 or 9 times. The sectional ratio is 3:6:9 or (9/3)<sup>2</sup> or 9 times. Here the nine nodes touch the extreme end, and next to the mass being operated on, in which position they are not in use." Keely
See Keelys Physical Philosophy and Laws of Being where these numbers are mentioned.
"In the three metals, silver, gold, and platina, we obtain the proportions - 3 : 6 : 9 : - As this is the primary relation of the modes of vibration, a wire made of these three metals is peculiarly adapted to transmit concordant impulses; and nodes made of these substances placed upon a wire, transmitting resonant vibrations, indicate, by the different orders of vibration induced in them, the rate of oscillations of the Atomic constituents." Daniel Brinton, in 14.09 - Brintons Laws of Being, Laws of Being, The Laws of Being
"All forces in nature are mind force|mind forces; magnetic, electric, galvanic, acoustic, solar, are all governed by the triune streams of celestial infinity, as also the molecular, intermolecular, atomic and interatomic. The remote depths of all their acoustic centers become subservient to the third, sixth and ninth position of the diatonic, harmonic and enharmonic chords, which when resonantly induced, concentrate concordant harmony, by reducing their range of corpuscular motion, drawing them as if towards each other's neutral center of attractive infinity.
"The sympathetic acoustic exciters, or impulses are: 1st, the third diatonic, 2nd, the harmonic sixths neutralizing affinity, 3rd, the enharmonic ninths, positive acceleration, which induces infinite trajective velocity from neutral centers, in other words, neutral radiation. [Keely, MOLECULAR DISSOCIATION - Snell]
"Only two vibratory conditions can be so associated as to excite sympathetic affinity between two physical organisms, the etheric chord of B flat, third octave and on etheric sympathetic transmission the chord of E flat, with third dominant, sixth enharmonic and ninth diatonic, with octave enharmonic."
The dark hemisphere, which represents 50% of the full internal area of pure concordant harmony, receives the negative Thirds, Sixths and Ninths, the bombardment of which disturbs the equilibrium of the sphere and induces rotation. The speed of rotation is directly in proportion to, and controlled by, the relative volume of the negative antagonistic chords. Even with no wire transmission of vibrations, an ordinary mouth organ, which is constructed tuned to thirds, will cause the sphere to slowly rotate. [HOW THE MUSICAL SPHERE ROTATES]
